We heard a lot about Chu’s breakfast before we came, and no surprise there – it is legendary. She prepared different things every day: soy milk with fried rice on one, mango sticky rice with orange juice on the other. Our only regret was that we had to miss a breakfast because we had some early sightseeing to do for one day :)
Tor’s place was also quiet and serene, and it fits what you see in the pictures.
I will just make a point for those coming with very young children. Tor’s place has a stairway that has fairly large gaps between the grilles. My two-year-old could slip right through, so we basically had to stand at attention to help her as she relentlessly sought go up and down the stairs. Just something to just note for parents with young kids (< 3 years).
Overall, I enjoyed the fact that I was living outside the cookie-cutter apartments that proliferate so much of the Bangkok city center.
